'' I would highly recommend Benjamin Ellis. I have just completed ten sessions and have found the time to be most helpful and inspiring. Whilst providing direction and giving a guiding hand if necessary, Ben encourages you to discover solutions by harnessing your own inner power and vision and by gaining objectivity. Ben is sharply aware of the link between mind / body health and often explores problems in an holisitc and creative way. Ben is friendly and welcoming, yet very professional, and provides an harmonius place in which to work. '' M. Lundquist.
I spent 5- 6 weeks with Benjamin. Within the short period of time i can say, my life has changed for the better. I found it easy communicating with Ben. I spilled my beans with a perfect stranger, which is very uncharacteristic of me. My attitude to my home life has changed and with Ben i can say he has helped me tackle some problems with an entirely differant approach. M.B
Hi Benjamin I feel that over the last few months that we have been meeting on a weekly basis that your help has allowed me to see things alot more clearly in both my personal and business life. Without doubt you have helped me off the road of self destruction that I was on and you have reminded me of the things that I once considered important and I had seemed to have forgotten all about, for that I will always be most grateful to you. It has without any doubt saved my 20 year marriage, the love and respect of my children and my business... A.R
I worked with Benjamin for approx 18 months. I never felt judged or disapproved of, I felt believed, respected and cared for. Months later, I find myself in situations that cause no problems now, but I remember that before I worked with Benjamin a similar situation would have caused me distress. I am grateful to Benjamin for being patient with me, not giving up and challenging me when I needed it. Benjamin is warm and approachable. He enabled me to integrate different aspects of myself, through acknowledging, accepting and dialoguing with different aspects. I would recommend Benjamin as an approachable counsellor
Benjamin was one of the many counsellors I saw. I have never met a more friendly, helpful, insiring and interested counsellor. We worked through everything at my pace and went into as much depth as I wished. He set me specific tasks to work towards and I felt at ease talking to him as a friendly and interested counsellor. He made it a lot easier for me by asking questions, he asked in which way I wanted him to work with me and helped me through some very difficult times. I highly recommend Benjamin, as he shows interest in whatever is spoken about and works in many different ways, depending on preference. Thankyou for all your help, Benjamin, and I hope many others find help with you like I did
